What Do You Do If You Cant Sleep ? Options

[chast]

Hey GMC'ers

Since I dont fall asleep I'm wondering what do you guys do if you dont fall asleep ?
Usually I do nothing than resting in the bed and try to fall asleep but right now I am too awake to fall asleep

I already read a bit before I went to bed but there is no sign of fatigue
Right now it is 01:10 o'clock (1:10 pm ^^) and I want to sleep because I need to be awake for the upcoming math test tomorrow (its not the math test that keeps me awake )

Hmmm, I have this problem quite a lot too m8 can be a real pain sometimes, especially when theres meetings etc the following day, I usually find sitting in front of the tv for a bit with the lights off gets me ready (obviously with the tv switched on lol!)

Yeah I have real problems sleeping, think I'm an insomniac!
I usually get up and drink some warm milk, sometimes helps.

Read or watch TV while in bed, works for me.

I know what I need to fall asleep... My history teacher
Even if you are in love with history, you wont find his lessons interessting. Nevertheless he is a very kind guy who can understand the pupil (in my opinion only a few teacher can)

I'm counting sheeps or old grandmothers. Or not ... I usually read some cartoons or something until I get tired, or else I'm just laying flat out and thinking until I'm falling asleep. Really not much to do about it.

what i do is i get my iPod and set a sleep timer (depending on your state), if im very awake, i set 1 hour, if im near sleeping, i put 30 mins and i just try to sleep listening to the music, it works for me alot.

My dad does that alot

If I can't sleep, I don't sleep

Joking You cannot force your body to rest, have to find a way to clear your mind and relax, everything is in our heads.

But if you have to much energy, than maybe you should consider some physical exercises in the evening, and you'll sleep like a baby

I've got an idea pick up the guitar and rock out till you can't rock out any more Usually wears me right out... Plus for me it gets my mind off of things.

[Xranthoius]

I either fall asleep with the tv on, or when it's off, I focus my mind on one thing (cant be sleep) and it works for me.

[Muris Varajic]

I'm looking at the monitor until my eyes start to bleed,
then I watch all 3 chapter of LOTR,
after that Ilisten to The Wall album and then I'm dead

Really,have similar problems,
only able to sleep when I'm REALLY tired

[ibanezkiller]

I turn off the lights and BAM... drop dead right there... No books no rocking just pitch BLACK

[SLASH91]

I'll play either myself to sleep on my acoustic or I'll just lay in bed thinking about all kinds of crap until I bore myself to sleep.

[nickmarx12345678]

When I cant go to sleep and I know i need to (test or something next day) what I do is try to just clear all the thoughts from my head and listen to my breathing and really not let myself think. It s tricky at first but once you get good at it, it really works well, especially if im really restless

[VinceG]

Yep, try and read while lying down. I have been sleeping good for a couple of weeks now. Every time I lay in bed, in 5 min im out for the night. 7-9 hrs of pure sleep. My sleeping pattern for the past 5 months was sleeping at 5 in the morning. It was a pain going to school because I have to wake up at 6. Imagine doing that and trying to concentrate in college. It was a nice afternoon sleep though.

Ahhh guys, glad to see this thread.


Does anyone here experience problems sleeping if they shred really hard before bed time? I think I mentioned this before in a similair thread.

I spent the whole of Saturday evening sweep picking and when i got to bed i had a wild night From now on Im only ever shredding in the morning or afternoon cause I need a good nights sleep

Occasionaly yea m8, have the whole thing going through my mind, I just do what I said earlier, get up and go and watch some tv, find any film that looks half sensible and watch it till I drop.

I find switching over to Nickleoden and watching Spongebob is great for relaxing the mind and getting a good nights sleep
